I posted that last thing on December 16 in a fit of rage and having a strange head pain that was making my eye blurry.  I mentioned stroke because I’m prone to hyperbole when I’m in a craptastic mood.

On December 17 I had a stroke.  That strange head pain turned into the worst pain of my life and lasted almost a week.  Pain that morphine didn’t touch. 

I didn’t find out until January 31 that I had a blood clot that had caused a stroke.  I was under house arrest for weeks waiting for doctors to figure out what was wrong with me.  Weeks trapped alone on my couch unable to read, barely able to take a shower.

I’m getting better now.  We have a lot of catching up to do.
